SzethFriendOfNimi , in The Internet Archive Loses Its Appeal of a Major Copyright Case
@SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world avatar

I love the internet archive but it’s been an uphill battle all along since it seems they really didn’t have a lot of legal protection.

Here’s a four year old video by Lawful Masses (a copyright lawyer) on the origination of the case and how the law applies.

some_guy , in Elon Musk Deletes Tweet Promoting Tucker Carlson’s Interview With Hitler-Loving ‘Historian’

Everyone who has an account on that shitty site should post this screenshot and @ him.

Only if you make it clear that the guy is at the very least a Nazi sympathizer. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who would assume you were being pro Musk and pro Carlson if you just posted the image without explanation.

Plus you’re just giving the site activity. Deleting your account would be a much better statement.

“Trying to understand WWII” is forbidden apparently.

I guess that would make me respect my history teach more for getting me to understand WWII

Historians, the biggest rebels.

Melody , in NaNoWriMo is in disarray after organizers defend AI writing tools

While I wouldn’t condone using an AI to create an entire novel, I would be fine with a human using ChatGPT to generate topics, prompts, and check spelling & grammar.

AI is a tool. It can be used for good, and it can be used for bad. Much like a hammer. There are both good and bad ways to use them.

There’s no reason for there to be prohibition of AI generation; just prohibition of AI Generation being the only source of text.

grue , in The Internet Archive Loses Its Appeal of a Major Copyright Case

The Internet Archive needs to flee the US before the copyright cartel can destroy it completely and usher in an Internet dark age.

Alot of bad things happening these months… Nintndo, youtube, streaming sites, zlib, manifestV3, EU laws on cryptography to protect " the children"…

Dark days ahead? :/

What’s happening to zlib?

M500 ,

I’m not sure, but I recently saw they have some new domain names.

Maybe confused with xz: nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-3094 ?

I guess so. I was thinking of zlib the software license…

This is great. I hope she maintains that stance.

Copyright law in the U.S. is stupid. Leave the U.S. and take your archive somewhere else.

Kit , in 4 dead in shooting at Georgia high school, 14-year-old suspect in custody: Officials

Jesus. When I was 14 I was playing with action figures. I can’t imagine what would drive a 14 year old to want to hurt people at this scale.

Soup ,

MAGA would be my guess.

@JoMiran@lemmy.ml avatar

I doubt it. Don’t get me wrong, I am not defending those fascists, but a 14 year old (freshman?) is not going to just up and kill a bunch of people over politics they almost definitely do not care about one bit.

lemmyman ,

That’s kind of an unnecessary leap.

zabadoh ,

I imagine something similar to Columbine: Unchecked bullying culture in the student body.

krashmo ,

Bullying has always been part of human nature. Mass shootings are a modern phenomenon. They also didn’t become widespread until well after it was possible to obtain the weapons necessary to carry one out. Bullies are a factor but it’s a far more complex subject than that issue alone can explain.

zabadoh ,

I was bullied as a kid, and if it had been that easy for me to get guns back then I would have seriously looked into it.

Yeah, it is that simple.

The relatively recent accessibility of guns everywhere in some parts of the country makes gun tragedies a lot more likely.

Whether it’s bullying at school, domestic partner violence, or cops having to shoot first because a perp on the street is much more likely to have a gun than other countries.

He’ll “be tried as an adult” because nothing matters and what if it did.

ArbitraryValue , in The Internet Archive Loses Its Appeal of a Major Copyright Case

This is the obviously correct decision, and no other decision was realistically possible. The only difference between what the Internet Archive was doing and what any other piracy webpage does is that the Internet Archive was claiming to do it for a good cause. What were they thinking?

andrew0 ,
@andrew0@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

If I am not mistaken, the difference was that the Internet Archive was distributing books with a DRM that would make the PDF unusable after a certain time. You could relate it to how a physical library offers books for a limited time, for free. Now, of course, one could bypass the DRM or copy the contents differently, but so can another person photocopy a book they borrowed physically. Meanwhile, other physical libraries are allowed to distribute e-books, but I’m not sure if that’s made possible due to licensing fees.

I’m not saying that they approached this well, especially given the copyright laws in the US, but it was indeed a good thing for the normal person at the time. Too bad that the judicial system in the US is biased towards leeching companies. I really can’t wait to see the AI vs publishers fight, though. Let’s see who has deeper pockets and better plants in the courts :D
